Bro, the VR ECU tunning is done by Joey (Harmony Motor). Creative Sports only touch on the bodykit, seats, engine intake & exos. So u'd done ur QF? Ic!Thks for yr info!Going to mod my air-intake into open-pod 1st before I go to Joey for QF. Or wat's the best intake currently right now for manual V2?Never mind abt noise as long as bhp gains are good!I dun fancy the HKS intake as used in VR and would like to take Apexi's instead.Any recommedations for best results?Hw abt SJ-CAI on manual rides?

Yup, mine V2. Thks for the wonderful illustration of yr pics and explainantion, very clear indeed! FK=Fong Kim? Do u knw of any wrkshp in JB able to do the same set-up as yr bro's Avante?Yr bro's Avante auto, right? Y would he do this set up as it might affect his low end?At least manual got clutch to compensate for the torque loss in low end...

urs V2 rite?..Go to FK and do something like V2 but without the U bend ram pipe like on the VR..Shift battery up slightly and run the ram pipe/ open pod to the corner and heatshield it... ..Tis is my bro's Avante initial setup..he ran his Apexi open pod to the corner and point it down..now he didn't point down but heatshield the corner.. ..i feel this is better setup for V2..coz seen some V2 owners wld juz use a 90 degree rampipe and point the open pod towards the extractor at the back..not so good since the extractor is hot... ...too bad V1 cannot do similar..

Y would he do this set up as it might affect his low end?At least manual got clutch to compensate for the torque loss in low end... The wriring a bit messy when pix was taken..he tidy up oready..Yup, FK is Fong Kim..tink they charge ard $150 to do this? (include S/S customised ram pipe)..They can also customise a heatshield for a fee, but my bro didn't do it..and yup, my bro driving an AT Avante..but he claim low end not effected leh....

Try to get the ram pipe as short as possible. And oso as straight as possible as to achieve more direct air intake.

Like bro Bluepicanto said, minimise the bends so u may not need to point down like my bro did initially..Juz point straight to the corner..(like his current setup)..This setup is quite good coz the heat from the extractor is actually shielded by the shifted battery

Its strange. They are finally launching the Cerato hatchback as the "Sports" model with sportstronic drive but in reality, this is a standard feature on the V2 series, so their "Sports" model is merely a name given to the hatchback. But I must admit the V2 auto price is very good inspite of the trend in higher cost for everything..
